Elliott -- is that Dallas is thinking big. After its 35-30 comebac

Australian Jamie Mitchell has claimed the World Surf League Big Wave Tour Nazare Challenge on Tuesday with the iconic Portuguese underwater canyon delivering massive 10-metre-plus waves for the worlds best big wave surfers.I have never made a final before today so to win is unreal, I knew I was close to doing well in a whole event, Mitchell said.To put together a whole contest from start to finish is actually more exciting than just the win today. I felt comfortable out there, my board felt amazing and that gave me a bunch of confidence.A capacity crowd of big-wave enthusiasts gathered by the landmark lighthouse on the point looking down at the biggest waves ever paddled in Portugal.Halfway through the final, Mitchell committed to an incredibly late drop on a lefthander, grabbing the rail of his board to engage into a bottom turn before being eaten by the mountain of white water behind him.He later surfaced with his equipment and was rewarded an excellent 8.67 for his effort to steal the lead from Brazils Carlos Burle.The Australian quickly put a second score on the board to cement his lead and hold throughout the remainder of the final.Mitchell walked away with his maiden Big Wave Tour victory at the Nazare Challenge, a result earning 12,500 ranking points and rocketing him from 13th to 5th on the tour rankings.I got into a good rhythm at other events but lost it at some point, but this one I managed to keep it and it feels amazing, he said.Burle, a long-time competitor and 2009 Big Wave Tour Champion, finished runner-up in his last season as a competitor.Im super proud of my body, it was a tough event all-around in this cold weather, dropping huge waves and getting pounded all-day long, he said.I made the final and came close to winning, against the best guys in the world.Joao De Macedo of Portugal finished third.

Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Juan Lagares Mets Jersey . It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago.

They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Coaches and well-trained players will tell you that every win is worth the same.Theyre wrong.No better examples can be found than the way Seattle, Dallas and Denver won on Sunday. Those victories are the kind that can define a season, catapult you to special things.Most impressive was the Seahawks 31-24 win at Foxborough, a place visitors rarely leave with smiles on their faces. Particularly after settling for three field goals, missing an extra point kick and a dubious 2-point conversion attempt.But in one of the most bone-rattling games imaginable -- look for Earl Thomas hit on Rob Gronkowski for proof -- Seattle re-established its credentials as an opponent to be reckoned with. The Seahawks often come on in the second half of the schedule, and the way they punished the Patriots and also handled the hits they were given in return bodes very well for Pete Carrolls club.It says exactly what our creed is: We fight until we cant fight no more, said safety Kam Chancellor, whose tight coverage on Gronkowski resulted in an incompletion from the Seattle 1 to end New Englands chances. No matter what the circumstances are, we never look back. We keep pushing forward and we keep fighting.Seattle (6-2-1) won on Russell Wilsons arm (348 yards, 124.6 passer rating), Doug Baldwins mitts (three TD catches) and that fierce defense. It won even though Wilson remains almost stationary (for him) in the pocket because of bothersome leg injuries.Its been a tougher year in the sense of obviously, the injuries, and havent faced that (limitation) before, Wilson said. But there was no way I was going to let that stop me. And the mentality was to do whatever I could to play the games, and get ready, And just continue to battle, and continue to have that mulish approach, and continue to stay steadfast.Denver, like Seattle, has had plenty of success recently, albeit with a certain No. 18 at quarterback. It is now 7-3 thanks greatly to its still-staunch defense.And, of course, to a special teams play for the ages.Justin Simmons leaped over the offensive line and blocked a potential go-ahead extra-point kick by Wil Lutz. Will Parks grabbed the loose ball, retturning it 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion with 1:28 left.dddddddddddd The defensive 2-point play was only added to the rules prior to the 2015 season, and this was the first time the winning points came on such a play.Ive never had an ending like that, especially on special teams, DeMarcus Ware said, and hes been in the NFL for nearly 12 seasons. It was just big, a big victory. I mean usually a game ends from the defense because of a forced fumble or interception or something like that. But seeing it happen from special teams, you never see that.The effect it could have, particularly with two rookies combining for such a brilliant and rare play, is immeasurable.The significance of an eight-game winning streak powered by two other kids -- quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott -- is that Dallas is thinking big. After its 35-30 comeback sizzler in Pittsburgh, the Cowboys have earned the right to think as big as, well, Big D itself.Asked if hes been around a team where two rookies have had such a quick impact, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones replied, Not two that are so in sync to where theyre feeding off each other and the team feeding off them. I havent seen that.What the world saw at Heinz Field was the kind of determination and resilience that can lead to championships. Every time the more-veteran Steelers delivered a haymaker -- including a touchdown off a fake spike by Ben Roethlisberger -- Dallas responded.Elliott burst through a defense he said parted like the Red Sea and streaked to the end zone for a 32-yard touchdown to win it with 9 seconds remaining, and it might have been the most impressive act the fourth overall draft pick has delivered. And boy has he been delivering all year for a team that hasnt been a true championship contender for decades.If the Broncos, Cowboys or Seahawks find their way to the Super Bowl, they surely can point to Week 10 as a catalyst.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
